Custom Made Hickory Cabinets

This is a kitchen we just finished in Captain Cook off of Middle Keei Rd. We custom built the Hckory cabinets at my home shop. Many of the components were pre made at the shop of an associate in Corvallis, Oregon.

we made the doors and drawers as well a some of the trim items and hardware off island because of the greater availability of those items and better pricing as well as the controlled environment that the Oregon shop offers.

We built the boxes themselves and assembled the pieces at my home shop which is mostly outdoors and under canopies.

We also applies the spray on lacquer finish here. We had excellent success doing this as our climate is great for applying lacquer.

You might notice that we construct large boxes rather than small boxes you would get at Lowes or Home Depot. This saves on material and makes installation go quicker. They are heavier and rquire two people to install.

This is the kitchen before picture. the cabinets were 25 year old plywood and particle board built in place. The client did their own demolition.

In addition to the cabinets we made the window above the sink larger, changed the location of the gas stove, added some lighting above the stove and ran a new water line for the icemaker.
I retruned after 1 month to ,make some adjustments to the cabinet door as the had climatized to the new environment and required a little adjustment to close properly.

we think we saved the client considerable expense, working with their budget and design ideas this job was around $11,000.00
